Right, then. Hiding under the futon it is.

slipjig3I guess it just goes to show you that there is nothing like a car wreck to put the kaibosh on weekend-generated good will.
The bullet points:
1) Yes, everyone is fine. No one was hurt, unless you count my panic attack immediately after.
2) In short, I was making a left turn out of a parking lot, there was a bus parked on the street that blocked my view of oncoming traffic, I scooted forward to try to get a better sightline just in time to clip the other car zipping by, annnnnnd yeah. Whee.
3) The good news is that the bumper did what it was supposed to do, i.e. snap off like a dandelion head. It's now residing comfortably in my back seat, where, in the event of another accident, it will be safer than me.
4) No tickets issued to either party—your basic no-fault.
5) I need to send thank-you cards to everyone at the scene who called 911, directed traffic around the wrecked cars until the cops could make it, confirmed the lack of visibility to the police officer, helped remove what was left of the bumper from the corner where it was dangling by one screw, and calmed down the lunatic who was freaking out (me).
6) and exceptional thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rafaela, who keeps me sane. Love you, hon.
7) Oh, and I've found that it's a handy shortcut to walk into the insurance office, hold up the crumpled remains of your front license plate which they had to pry out of the other car's passenger door, and say, "Ann? I've been having a bad day."
